Canon SD 200 & 300

[ckk]

Hi,

For those had tried out the canon SD 200 or SD 300, can I have your comment on these models? How long does a fully charged battery last? I'm quite concern about the battery life as it means getting extra batteries and the battery is proprietary, not easily available compared to AA batteries.

Do you encounter any serious problems?

Thanks, :)

90 minutes to charge the battery from empty to full charge

Canon, in the SD200 manual says:

LCD On- 140 images shot

LCD Off- 400 images shot

Playback time on LCD approx. 180 minutes

Sorry, haven't had it long enough to give my experience.

Thank you. :)

I've now taken 133 pictures and the battery is still going.
Nothing I'm going to worry about.
After taking over 30 pics side by side with my S400, I can now say that the picture quality is just about identical between the two.

I can do a full day of shooting about 140 pics and much reviewing on one batterycharge, not bad. Keep in mind to use the lcd as little as possible, than you can do even better.
